The team which is able to collect the highest number of points in all 5 disciplines will win the BOINC Pentathlon. This also means that the champion may get a maximum number of 500 points.

Of course, also the champions of the single disciplines are being honored. Therefore teams have the possibility to reach for the pedestal in a single discipline if they don't see a chance for themselves to succeed in the overall placings. In the end, they are being honored as well.
